Operations GeologyConference

Registration now openCorporate Supporter:

Following the highly successful Operations Geology Workshop held in Aberdeen in October 2012, the Petroleum Group of the Geological Society are pleased to announce the dates for the next event, which will be held over two days in 2014. Operations Geologists play key integrating roles at all stages of the life cycle of a well. This conference will look at the life cycle of a well and the contributions of Operations Geology at each stage:

• Well Planning - hazard identification (due to rocks, fabric, pressure, stress, geometry etc) andavoidance/mitigation, targeted data acquisition for all disciplines for life of field

• Execution - real-time techniques, managing the drilling window, the acquisition and use ofIntegrity test data, appropriate isolation of permeable zones in the overburden

• After Action Review - NPT analysis and the learning loop, continuous improvement

• Emerging Technologies - the next generation of needs and solutions – logging, formation andgas detection/analysis, real-time well bore stability analysis tools, PPFG tools

•
